Department of Education - Victoria

Lyndale Secondary College is a vibrant Years 7-12 single-campus educational institution, home to a diverse student body of over 850 students. Serving our community since 1961, we pride ourselves on our progressive educational practices, comprehensive student pathway management, and the unique strength we derive from our cultural diversity. With more than 40% of our students born in 47 different countries and 64 languages spoken at home, Lyndale offers a rich tapestry of cultural awareness and immersion that benefits both students and staff alike.

 

One of the key reasons for our school's success is our commitment to maintaining consistent, clearly communicated high expectations across all areas of school life. We believe that these expectations, grounded in our core values of respect, resilience, and responsibility, form the foundation for personal growth and achievement. Respect ensures that every student feels valued and heard, resilience encourages them to persist through challenges, and responsibility empowers them to take ownership of their learning and actions.

 

Our curriculum is broad and forward-thinking, spanning SEAL (Select Entry Accelerated Learning), VCE, VCE VM, VPC, and VET programs, alongside our English Language Centre, which supports the needs of international and refugee students as they transition into mainstream schooling. At Lyndale, our commitment to excellence extends beyond academics, with a nationally recognized Performing Arts program, robust student leadership and voice initiatives, and an inclusive school culture where all students are encouraged to thrive.

 

Our educational outcomes speak for themselves. We consistently achieve high results in NAPLAN assessments, reflecting our dedication to academic excellence. Additionally, data from the Attitudes to School Survey (AToSS) highlights our students' positive experiences and engagement, while staff and parent opinion data reveal strong support for our programs and initiatives. These insights inform our continuous improvement efforts, ensuring that we remain responsive to the needs of our community.

 

We've recently completed a state-of-the-art rebuild, resulting in cutting-edge facilities, including a STEM Centre, Technology/Arts Hub, Aviation and VR Centre, an extensively resourced library, and our world-class Performing Arts Theatre. These modern spaces provide an ideal setting for innovative teaching methods such as team-teaching, cross-curricular approaches, and community projects, fostering both creativity and academic rigor.

 

Our staff are at the heart of everything we do. We are dedicated to supporting professional growth through ongoing collaboration, peer observation, and a focus on best-practice teaching. Whether you're just starting your career or looking to advance in your field, Lyndale offers a dynamic environment where staff are empowered to be their best.
